[Harp-L] Super X

[Ellis Brayham <ellisbrayham@xxxxxxx>]

Ive used both for several years. The 64X has a bigger tone, a very  
nice low octave that is superior to the plain 64. I also like the  
black covers on the 64X as they dont tarnish, and are a bit more  
'slippery' v. the plain 64.

However I did have trouble initially with the 64X, even having to send  
it back to Trossinger, having experienced sour notes, a broken spring,  
on a brand new model. They exchanged it tho.

The black finish is excellent in terms of wear, not a scratch, but the  
gold plating on the mouthpiece, after several years  of moderate  
playing has dulled. The box it comes in it junky, and the inside  
cracked after just a few months.

The 64X is pretty tight, altho no doubt a serious player would still  
want it jazzed up.

Lastly, if you are at all allergic to plating (and I am to both Chrome  
and Nickel), the Super 64 solved that problem.

I'd buy another, altho I also have a liking for my CX12, and if they  
made it in a 64 I'd go for it in a flash . That easy cleaning in the  
CX is a stroke of genius, and it a non leaker too.
